Removal · field guidance

What to tell your clinician (date, location, attachment estimate)

Bring four facts to any tick-bite visit: when, where on your body, where geographically, and how long the tick was attached.

Steps

schema.org/HowTo
  1. 01
    Date and time of removal — write it down before you forget.
  2. 02
    Body location of the bite — photograph it.
  3. 03
    Geographic location of the exposure — county, state, habitat (tall grass, wooded trail, yard).
  4. 04
    Attachment time estimate — based on last full body check or shower, plus engorgement appearance.
  5. 05
    Tick species if known, with photos or the tick itself.
  6. 06
    Your relevant history: pregnancy, allergies, current medications, and any chronic conditions.
